OneNote Clipper: Clip the web, right to OneNote

Today we announced three major OneNote developments, including the OneNote Clipper, the easiest way to save anything on the web to OneNote with just one click. Think of it as your camera for the web, snapshotting any webpage you see directly into OneNote.

Researching for a big trip? Gathering recipes for an upcoming party? Collecting inspiration for a home makeover? The OneNote Clipper can help you do all of this quickly and easily. Watch the video below to see it in action.

Try out the OneNote Clipper now

To get started, use any major browser to visit www.onenote.com/clipper and follow the instructions to add the purple Clip to OneNote button to your Favorites bar. Congratulations, now you’re all set to start clipping the web to OneNote!

To clip, just browse to any webpage and click the Clip to OneNote button.

Once signed in, you’ll see the actual OneNote Clipper. The Clipper will let you know that it’s sending the page to OneNote, and when it’s finished, you can click the OneNote logo to immediately view your clip in OneNote Online.

All of your clips are saved to the Quick Notes section of your default notebook on OneDrive — automatically accessible and fully searchable on all your devices.

We hope you enjoy the OneNote Clipper. Please let us know in the comments if you have any feedback, we would love to hear from you. Happy clipping!

Am I correct to assume this is one of those v1 thing and it’ll be improved over time?

While the Clipper is awesome for taking snaps of the whole page, it doesn’t let me select a specific area of text and snip it to OneNote, along with the source URL. Please work on improving this in the future.

In addition, it’d be nice if it’d open the OneNote on your computer rather than the website version.

The OneNote Web Clipper would be much more useful if it was able to copy all of the text and graphics from a web page with a link to the URL, similar to how the “Send to OneNote” buttons worked for Internet Explorer. I primarily use Google Chrome and OneNote on a Windows 8.1 PC and I also use Google Chrome and OneNote on a MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks.

Unsatisfactory… I’ve expected to clip in text with formating, not image… Evernote has this feature long ago and work much faster..
E.g. cases: copy & paste the train schedule, some article to read off-line on-the-go.

Not useful.. In order to make this tool practical, it should output editable text on onenote, not an image… If you are going to beat Evernote that has this feature long ago, you need to allow the clipping of a selected text or a page and output text that can be edited (for example to add comments on onenote.) Clipping an image of a web page is a waste of time and bytes.
